Apathetic Sun (Live) Lyrics

The sun is setting on another lonely day

It don't care who it's leaving in the dark

And no one seems to mind the ones who in the winter waste away

We've gotta get some sleep before the morning comes

See there's a man in my backyard he's closely listening

I let him in the shed to keep out of the cold

And he hears these little songs I sing and throw away

So he sees and fills the guilty space inside my soul

But I don't got no time for him

and all these guilty songs I sing are just another empty pity fest

If its me or him I know who I would really pick

So does anybody really to him listen

Been discarded his whole life so does anybody really think that he's worth anything

Is out of sight and out of mind a place you'd rather be

So you gave your dollar hoping you could sleep at night

But nothing seems to quell your loud and ruthless mind

It's a dollar gained a dollar's pain and a dollar lost

Did you ever stop to think how much that dollar really cost

You could've given a suicidal man a loaded gun

But you don't have to think that way because you're the only one

To you at least

And you don't care about him anyway

Now you can talk about it in some conversation that you'll have someday

About that filthy addict's life that you had tried to save

So leave your conscience at the door

And don't forget that

The sun is setting on another lonely day

It don't care who it's leaving in the dark

Seems to chuckle to itself at those who still awake and steal away

It's got to get some sleep before the morning comes
